Shared Lunch

Our task was to make a shared lunch with the ingredients that was bought with the New World voucher. I put this up to reveal our learning and how we enjoyed this special event. It was fun. We enjoyed making the food and consuming it after. The kumara was the difficult thing I found hard to do. I overcame it by swapping jobs with the boys or just leaving it for an adult to do.

                Room 3’s shared Lunch

Room 3 were making food. It was for our shared lunch. We went to staff room to produce our food and then devour it.

As we go to the staff room we rapidly settled down to get prepared for our instructions to make the food. Our teacher chose several students to make a dish with a group,while some made smoothies. It was very messy and crowded. I pondered and thought that the room was a concert full of random people carefully gazing at us cooking. It made me feel like a real professional chef. Our dish and drink had to be healthy,because it was a healthy shared lunch.

Because we were so busy making food,We were so concentrated. It was like producing food was learning and working in class.My job was to cut and peel kumara chips. It was really cool and complicated. Cutting the kumara was the difficult thing to do, because it was firm and thick.

At the end of our cooking we set up the table and heard a prayer from Annie. Then it was time for us to eat one of the edible food. The one thing I was really going for was the pineapple and cheese on the stick.It looked really yum so I just went for it.

After one of the most delicious feast I've ever had, we all cleaned up and got prepared to go back to class.

I felt happy, excited and sad at the same time because the food was yum and my thumb was throbbing with hurtness as I got cut with the knife. “OUCH!!!”. It was a little cut so don't panic.

What went well was helping each other and a lot of co-operating with the members in my group.

What I found challenging was trying to slice the kumara in half. It was very difficult and tiring.
